Seafood is, essentially, any food that comes from the ocean. This can range from lobster and shrimp, to scallops and cod. People can purchase seafood from their local grocery store, or go out to eat at a seafood restaurant. Other times, restaurants and supermarkets deal with wholesalers that sell fish in bulk.
People who choose to dine at a restaurants likely have many options in their community, from casual eateries to fast food joints to gourmet dining establishments. Menus can boast anything from fish or corn chowder to mussels and linguine, depending on the style of the restaurant. Many such eateries sell other food items in addition to seafood, such as meat and vegetarian dishes.
Different restaurants have different methods of serving food. Some offer a buffet style, while others offer family or traditional style. Others are like fast food joints, where customers place their order up front and their meals are brought out to them.
People who choose to buy seafood at the store and cook it at home also have many options. They can buy fresh or frozen seafood, like crab, or get it canned, like tuna. They may also decide to grab some pasta or salad to go with it. Once home, there are several ways people can cook their seafood, such as grilled or broiled. Recipes abound in cookbooks and online as to various ways to prepare fish and lobster. Perhaps you're in the mood for some gumbo, or maybe you want to warm up with a steaming bowl of clam chowder.

Fine dining restaurants that serve seafood in their recipes need fresh delivery of fish, shrimps, scallops, oysters, lobster, steamed clams, shellfish, salmon, jelly fish and other saltwater and freshwater creatures. When you contact the seafood suppliers, there are several questions that you should ask to make sure that you get the fresh seafood delivery that you need to make sure your recipes taste their best. Ask the company if their seafood is fresh when it is delivered to your door, not when they catch it. If you need tropical fish that are far away and local fish that are in season, then the company will need a delivery system to make sure you get your fresh and frozen fish on time. Find out if they have an online system that lets you track the delivery. That way you can be sure your delivery reservations are going to be on time so that your authentic Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine will be available. If you have a lobster tank, then make sure they are delivered alive. Getting the fish and chips that you need means having grilled big fish that is in season, so make sure that the company brings them in directly from the islands they are caught off of. Ask if they will deliver the shrimps, steamed clams, and babel salad at the same time or if they will come separately. If they have an online ordering system, then that can make it easier for restaurants to get all of the seafood that you need.
